General Q&A

Hi,I would like to provide my chatbot with an avatar personality.Do you have any examples of how to implement this?Would this be a possible approach? Would videos perform well?Create the avatar in D-ID: Upload a high-quality photo and customize your avatar to your preferences.Generate an API key: This key will allow you to control your avatar through HTTP requests from Manychat.Configure Manychat:Create a new flow: This will be the path that the conversation with your user will follow.Use a custom code block: This block will allow you to send HTTP requests to the D-ID API.Request structure: In the request, you will include the text that you want your avatar to speak. D-ID will then generate the corresponding video and send it to you.Example of what the HTTP request might look like:POST https://api.d-id.com/v1/videosAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYContent-Type: application/json{"text": "Hi, how can I help you?","avatar": "YOUR_AVATAR_ID",// Other customization options (voice, expressi

Does anyone know how to solve the issue where the automation specifically does not work for stories? It works for comments and DMs but not stories.  

We use multiple triggers on our Instagram campaigns, but recently noticed that the “Story Reply” triggers are not working for ANY of our campaign flows. The “Post Comment” triggers are working, but at only about  90% - so leads are still slipping through the cracks and having to be contacted manually.SN: we’ve also noticed that our inbox in Manychat is not reflecting the active messages in the Instagram or Facebook apps. Maybe a privacy issue or compatibility issue?We have walked through all the steps to provided by support articles and the support chat, but nothing is resolving the issue.PLEASE HELP

I am developing an integration between ManyChat and an API (which integrates with OpenAI's API, trained on my Google Sheets database) to create an interactive chat experience that personalizes a virtual assistant based on user inputs. The process involves capturing a prompt provided by the user, storing it in a Custom User Field in ManyChat, and using this variable in an HTTP request to the API.However, I'm experiencing an issue where ManyChat is not updating user fields from responses to external HTTP requests.When I check the log, it shows that the response is null.Steps I've taken:Verified the server and response format. Tested with simplified static responses. Confirmed correct JSONPath usage.I have attached some screenshots for your reference.I would greatly appreciate any assistance or insights to help me resolve this issue. 

I created a new FB Business Page and now my Manychat Automations are not working!I have tried troubleshooting everything and no luck, Please help!

Hello Everyone!Has anybody also encountered the same problem when you're ManyChat Automation Sequence does not work on your FB Page when you tested it?What’s the reason behind and how did you fix it?

The website is unclear about the specifications of  “Contacts” which has us hesitant in subscribing.We see the “Pricing List” but the website is unclear on what counts as a “contact” Is it the amount of messages? Is it the amount of users?If it is the amount of users, why does manychat count them as an active contact if they have not used any of our automations?Is the “Maximum of Number of Contacts” per month or does it rollover for the next month?Exp: Is month 1 = “1500 contacts” then Month 2 = “500 contacts” OR will they rollover. Month 1 = “1500” then Month 2 = “500 contacts” totaling “2,000 contacts” for month 2?If it rolls over, then why would it make sense to purchase the subscription?If a person is added as a contact but never contacts again? Why should we pay that contact if it is not active for a month?How will this affect me if I have 5 instagram accounts logged into my manychat account?Can someone clarify this for me?

I have cancelled my Manychat account. Now trying to connect my WhatsApp business number to a WhatsApp business account on my phone is not possible. When I trys to connect to WhatsApp business, I get the message  “WhatsApp is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 1 hour.” This has been like this for a month. Meta is not helpful as I can not get to speak to anybody there. Can someone please help? 

I would like to authorize my live agents to perform bulk actions like reopening or closing conversations, but without turning them into editors, as I do not want them to have access to automations. How can I do that? 

There is a new feature in Manychat where you can connect Manychat Instagram account to Meta Conversions API. But I don’t see how to use it in Meta Ads Manager. Any guess?Should it be used with Meta Pixel in “Sales” ads? Then how to choose respective button in an automation as an conversion event?  

Hello everyone,I want to integrate Whatsapp communication into ManyChat. I have already validated message templates to send messages first. However, when I use a link trigger, the message is not sent when the person clicks on the link. He has to send a message first to launch the automation. This is very strange, because if I send the same flow using the Automation function in Live Chat, the message is sent without any problem.Here's what I've already checked:Template message validate Business verification : verified Account status : approved  Credit Line : shared Wallet balance : ok Do you know why it doesn't work?

HI, I am trying to do the following:Add a "User Input" step: Input Type: Quick Reply Options: "Let's do this! 👍", "Maybe later 🕑" Add a "Condition" step: Condition: User_Input is "Maybe later 🕑" If True: Action: Go to Flow > Main Menu Flow If False: Continue to next step How do i set it up so when the condition matches to the button title? Do i make the input a variable?

Hi,Good day to all, I would like the help of the community and experts, I’m new to the structure of manychat,I have created my 1st automation and it’s working, but I did a major update with the flow and published it. The FB messenger isn’t using the update flow. I tried disconnecting the page and reconnecting from manychat and still, it is using the old flow. How can I resolve this issue? I’m interested in pursuing the plan because of the reviews but having this bottleneck is leading me to think otherwise. I hope someone can help me resolve the issue or point out what I’m doing wrong. Thank you.Best regardsJC

Is there any way to change the font in Many Chat?

I recently funded a trial account with $70 without realizing that it was the wrong Profile - since most bear the same name for the same brand. I’ve cancelled the trial. How do I transfer the funds in the Manychat trial profile to my second Manychat profile which is a pro profile? The subscription to this pro profile will be renewing on the 17th of this month. 

My number that I generated on Manychat is not being approved on Facebook Business. I think it's related to the country of address of my business, which I fill in with the country from which the number was generated US +1 (United States). However, I'm from Brazil. Can you help me, please? 😥

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my Instagram to my many chat account and I keep getting error messages so it won't let me. Any ideas. 

Here’s the situation.  I have an Instagram account, og__geek.  This is my main account, I created it years ago.  I created a new account, freedomfinancehq.  I can’t connect Manychat to freedomfinancehq, only og__geek.  Help!

We want to connect our SMS in GoHighLevel and trigger out ManyChat automations if word triggers are also sent in GoHighLevel. 

I am helping a client pass data into ManyChat via their API integration. All API Calls were integrated using the documentation at this linkThis it the current flow we have set up: Creating a Contact with their platform's built-in fields (createSubscriber API call) Adding a "Tag" to that contact using the Contact ID generated in Step 1 (addTagByName API call) Updating custom fields using the Contact ID generated in Step 1 (setCustomFieldByName API Call) The above process works as anticipated with new email records. But where we run into a bit of an issue is with duplicate emails that already exist in the ManyChat account. In Step 1, if we try to create a contact using an email that is already in the account, it spits back an HTTP 400 error saying that the Email Already Exists. This prevents us from being able run steps 2 and 3 on that email record.  If we were either able to get an API response in step 1 for duplicate emails that indicates the Contact ID for that pre-existing email
